After lots and lots of trial and error Russell finally understood what worked. Authenticity and building something like ClickFunnels which was easy for any entrepreneur to use. Russell says this has made him feel his own personal Significance in the world. Security and Contribution are what get him fired up.

The Marketing Plan:

Step 1 is to focus on building a list. There are benefits you will create for the long term. Step 2 is to create consistent content that you keep sending out. Russell began sending out 1 email per month. When he shifted to sending out 2 emails for month, he more than doubled his income! Then it became 1x per week which once again, doubled his income.

One very KEY component of all this, is that his content contains within it his personality that communicates with his audience. Russell says the relationship customers have with you more important than anything else. Soon, after being encouraged by his mentor, he began sending out an email 1x per day. Although Russell was very hesitant and scared that people might get annoyed at first, he took a leap of faith and started doing it.

More and more, Russell revealed his authenticity. He now shares many small pieces of his life and has developed a more personal relationship with his audience. He made the shift from being totally corporate emails to more personal. This means, he doesn’t always talk about his products or what he is selling. This totally changed focus of the business.

Russell says to go out there and create your own attractive character. For example, when Russell decided to share his own personal story about getting pregnant, he attracted a wider range of people. So now he shares pieces of his life which inevitably relate to different types of people. Share the parts about you you may be nervous or afraid to. When you do, people will respond.
